Background Information

Built in 1963, the existing bridge culvert carries 116 Street over an offshoot of the flying shot lake. The culvert is at the end of its service and is in need of replacement. Once replaced, a minimum of 45-year service life is expected for the new bridge culvert.

The project also includes an asphalt overlay of the existing 116 Street between the City Limits. The asphalt overlay is required to repair, extend the service life of the existing road and to meet future traffic volume.
